Check your water level in the reservoir in the engine bay. Do you have to top up the water much?

u mean is knocking noise?
i think it came from the shaft in front of engine that drives the accesories pully in front. when the a/c is running or the rpm rise up a bit, the noise is gone. try go under the vehicle and spot where the noise come from. as i know is come from the shaft in front of the engine. the coupling need to be replace.

doest not work means what? blower or cool?
if blower, maybe try check the switch fuses, connection from switches and the blower motor itself.

the only way to get one for free is the steal it.

It could be the thermostat replac eto be sure but also check to make sure the cooling fan is coming on periodically observe engine idling after the motor warms up the fan should come on after 5 - 10 minutes idling if not replace either the fan relay or the coolant fan switch

you need a 4 wheel alignment

you can try www.ausinjectionnewage.com they might have it. I've bought from them before the injectors are always nice

If it's the org. engine it will has over 200,000 miles on it.
It's normal to has the valve steam seal/oil seal on the head to leak oil into the cyclinder.
The smoke you see is the motor oil drop from the seals.
It land on the top of the cyclinders and it create black smoke at start up.

The inexpensive fix is to start using high mileage oil with seal conditioner.
This will help soften the rubber seals and help reduce internal oil leak.

The correct fix is to wait until it's time for a head gasket replacement and let the professional service the head.

Complete head service is the only method to stop this internal oil drip problem.

hi yes the hoses are the same size thanks brian

If you have the sound of no compression you either have a timing chain that has jumped time, or valve seats that have dropped out of the cylinder head. Check the timing, and, it it is correct, the head has to come off. The cyl head removal is an incredibly difficult undertaking in a Previa. I drop the whole engine out of the vehicle to work on them.

you most likly blew the head gasket and destroyed the top half of your motor. NEVER EVER run a vehicle hot, you're just asking for trouble, becuase now your motor is most likly seized

so most likly you need a new motor or have yours rebuilt, either way your looking at at LEAST 1000 bucks

so dont drive when vehicle is hot

u need to secure a repair manual from bookstore or online or go to library sec 629-they have chiltons n others-thanx

It'll be in your thermostat housing on the side of the engine where the coolant enters into the engine

if it starts jump starting you may need batteries. Have them tested. Or you may have a bad starter, have it tested

The power steering pump could be going bad. The noise coming from the catalytic converter could be something as simple as a mounting bracket coming loose, or worst case something busted internally.

One item of advice. If it's not too much difference $ wise to buy complete "quick strut kit" which is the entire assembly already to go, then I'd do it.

There are a few other things that could be wrong with it. Such as ball jionts, wheel bearings, and tie rod ends. although it is rare, it is not unheard of for bad struts to cause them to go bad. when you put them on go and have the van alligned. when they allign it they will tell you if any of the other parts are wore out or not.

try the flasher can for your indicators, you should be able to locate this by turning on the indicators then stick your head under drivers side or passenger side dash. should be a small round metal tube case or a coulored box about as half as big as a matchbox. you should be able hear/feel a clicking sound everytime the indicators flash. good luck.

check for lose vacuum hoses or lose throttle hose make sure you air flow meter ducks are tite if you see everything ok then the idle speed control valve could be dirty with a little carburetor cleaner spray while engine is running open throttle and spray into throttle till you can see throttle is clean you may have to do this a few time hope this information is useful good luck
